Curing method for pathologic syndrome and medicinal preparation

ABSTRACT

A method of treating a pathological syndrome includes administration of an activated form of ultra-low doses of antibodies to an antigen, wherein said activated form is obtained by repeated consecutive dilution combined with external impact, and the antigen is a substance or a pharmaceutical agent exerting influence upon the mechanisms of formation of this particular pathological syndrome.  
     Pharmaceutical agent for treating a pathological syndrome contains activated form of ultra-low doses of monoclonal, polyclonal or natural antibodies to an antigen, wherein said activated form is prepared by means of repeated consecutive dilution and external treatment, predominantly based on homeopathic technology, and said antigen is a substance or a drug acting as a direct cause of the pathological syndrome or involved in regulation of mechanisms of its formation. At that, activated forms of ultra-low doses of antibodies are raised against antigens of exogenous or endogenous origin, against autologous antigens, fetal antigens; anti-idiotypic antibodies are used too.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to medicine and can be employed fortreating various diseases and for producing pharmaceutical preparationspossessing no side effects.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND ART

[0002] The use of antibodies for treating pathological syndromes is wellknown (SU 1331508 A, A 61 K 39/00, 1984; SU 1730144 A1, C 12 N 7/00,1992).

[0003] Also known are pharmaceutical preparations based on antibodies(serums, immunoglobulins) applied in therapeutic doses (see, forexample, Register of Pharmaceutical Agents of Russia, Encyclopedia ofDrugs, 7^(th) edition, 2000, pp.358-359).

[0004] However, the range of application of these preparations is forthe most part limited to etiological treatment of infectious diseases,and their use may be associated with undesirable side effects.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The invention is aimed at enhancing the efficacy of treatment ofpathological syndromes by the use of antibodies in activated forms forfundamentally new indications—to control a pathological syndrome; it isalso intended for producing pharmaceutical substances without markedside effects.

[0006] For solution of the given problem, the method for treating apathological syndrome includes administration of activated forms ofultra-low doses of antibodies to an antigen, wherein said activatedforms are obtained by repeated consecutive dilution combined withexternal treatment, and said antigen is a substance or a pharmaceuticalagent implicated in or exerting influence upon the mechanisms offormation of the pathological syndrome; said antigen can also representa substance (or drug) that is, upon its introduction into the body, withnon-medical purposes included, can act as direct cause of thepathological syndrome.

[0007] To this end it is expedient to use ultra-low doses of antibodiesin activated forms prepared by homeopathic technology of potentiation(dynamization).

[0008] Activated forms of ultra-low doses of antibodies to a substanceor a pharmaceutical agent can be also introduced together with this verysubstance or pharmaceutical agent implicated in or exerting influenceupon the mechanisms of the pathological syndrome or directly causing thepathological syndrome.

[0009] Besides, the objective is also accomplished by a pharmaceuticalagent containing activated forms of ultra-low doses of monoclonal,polyclonal or natural antibodies to an antigen, wherein said activatedforms are produced by repeated consecutive dilution and externaltreatment predominantly based on homeopathic technology, and saidantigen is a substance or a pharmaceutical agent exerting influence uponregulation of the impaired function.

[0010] At that, antibodies used in activated (potentiated) forms ofultra-low doses are raised against antigens of exogenous or endogenousorigin, against autologous antigens, fetal antigens; anti-idiotypicantibodies are used too.

[0011] The drugs (pharmaceutical agents) obtained in accordance with thepresent invention constitute a novel class of pharmacologicalpreparations, distinctive in combination of specific pharmacologicalactivity, stable therapeutic action free from side effects, ecologicalpurity and low prime cost.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The pharmaceutical preparation can be prepared in the followingway.

[0013] 1. Obtaining of Antibodies.

[0014] Polyclonal antibodies specifically binding to compounds ofvarious classes: proteins, polynucleotides, oligosaccharides,glycolipids, etc. and interacting with low-molecular substances(haptens) are obtained through active immunization of animals. For thispurpose, animals are given a series of antigen injections according to aspecially designed pattern, the antigen being either an individuallyisolated high-molecular substance, or a synthetic conjugate (forhaptens). This procedure results in obtaining a monospecific antiserumwith high content of antibodies apt for further processing. If necessarythe antibodies present in the antiserum are purified. Fractionating bysalt precipitation or ion exchange chromatography is used for thispurpose.

[0015] Monoclonal antibodies of different specificity interacting bothwith low-molecular haptens and with epitopes of high-molecularsubstances are obtained by means of hybridome technology. At that, theinitial stage of the process includes immunization based on theprinciples already developed for preparation of polyclonal antiserums.Further stages of work envisage yielding antibody-producing clones ofhybrid cells, produced antibodies being of identical specificity. Theirisolation is carried out with the same methods as for polyclonalantiserums.

[0016] Natural antibodies to exogenous antigens and biologicalregulators of various origin are isolated from human blood serum by themethod of affinity chromatography. To this end, a carrier with acovalently bound antigen, either a hapten or a high-molecular compoundis used as an immunosorbent. Chromatography yields antibodies withnarrow specificity and affinity.

[0017] Methods of obtaining antibodies are described, for example, inthe book Immunological Methods, under the editorship of G. Frimel,Moscow, Medicina Publishing House, 1987, p.9-33).

[0018] Isolated antibodies to a substance or a pharmaceutical agent areconsecutively repeatedly diluted and exposed to external treatment untilultra-low or low doses are obtained, for example, in accordance withhomeopathic technology of potentiation (dynamization) (see V. Shvabe,Homeopathic Pharmaceutical Agents. A Manual on Description andPreparation, Moscow, 1967, p.12-38). At that, the concentration isproportionally reduced through consecutive dilution of 1 volumetric partof the initial substance (antibodies) in 9 volumetric parts (for decimaldilutions, D) or in 99 volumetric parts (for centesimal dilutions, C) ofa neutral solvent until the required dose (potency) is obtained; eachdilution is followed by multiple vertical mechanical shaking; for eachdilution separate vessel is preferable.

[0019] External treatment in the process of dilution can also beperformed by sound generator or other mechanical or electromagneticaction.

[0020] The pharmaceutical preparation thus yielded is used for the mostpart in dosage forms and dilutions common for homeopathic practice, suchas alcoholic or aqueous solutions or tablets (granules) obtained bysaturating the excipient of the formulation with potentiated solution orby direct introduction of the latter into liquid dosage form of thepreparation.

[0021] An example of obtaining a pharmaceutical preparation in form ofactivated polyclonal antibodies (antiserum) to morphine is given below.

[0022] 1. Obtaining Morphine-ovalbumin Conjugate.

[0023] Solution of 50 mg (0.001 mmol) ovalbumin in 5.0 ml of distilledwater was mixed with 2.0 ml dimethylformamide containing 15.0 mg (0.039mmol) of morphine 6-hemisuccinate and while the mixture was cooling thesolution of 15 mg (0.055 mmol) of water-soluble carbodiimide in 3 ml ofdistilled water was added to it by drops. The reaction mixture wasincubated for 5 hours at 4° C. The yielded conjugate was isolated by gelchromatography on Sephadex G25 column and exposed to lyophilization.

[0024] The quantity of conjugated morphine was calculated fromUV-spectra of the original protein and the yielded conjugate by changesin absorption at 280 nm. According to UV-spectra, the synthesizedconjugate contained 12-15 moles of hapten per mole of protein.

[0025] 2. Obtaining a Monospecific Antiserum to Morphine-ovalbuminConjugate.

[0026] Immunization of Viennese Blue rabbits weighing not more than 2 kgwas performed in cycles with a 10-day interval between them. The maximalnumber of injections was four. The conjugate was injected into the areaof periarticular lymph nodes of front and hind paws in the dose of 1 mgper immunization. To this end the antigen was previously diluted in 1 mlof complete Freund's adjuvant. The total volume of immunization mixturewas 2 ml.

[0027] Subsequent immunizations were performed using incomplete Freund'sadjuvant, adhering to the above-mentioned proportions of antigen andadjuvant. A test blood sample was drawn from marginal ear vein of theanimal 10 days after immunization.

[0028] The rabbit blood serum was obtained by centrifugation at 100 gfor 10 minutes at room temperature; after that chloroform was added as apreservative its final concentration reaching 13%.

[0029] The antiserum obtained was tested for specific antibodies tomorphine by means of enzyme immunoassay, the antibodies being detectedwith conjugate of enzyme-labeled anti-species (anti-rabbit) antibodies.

[0030] Thus obtained antiserum contained specific antibodies active inthe dilution 1:1000-1:25000.

[0031] Further on, γ-globulin fraction was isolated from the yieldedantiserum. To this end the protein was precipitated with 50% ammoniumsulfate with subsequent rinsing of the precipitate with 30% salinesolution, centrifugation and dialysis against phosphate buffer. Thefraction thus prepared contained specific antibodies to morphine and wasthen used for producing the pharmaceutical preparation.

[0032] 3. Obtaining the Activated Form (Ultra-low Dose) of theAntibodies to Morphine.

[0033] Antiserum γ-globulins (0.5 ml) was placed into E-6₁ vessel andmixed with 4.5 ml of distilled water; the mixture was shaken 10 timesyielding 5 ml of the first centesimal dilution. The first centesimaldilution (0.05 ml) was placed into E-6₂ vessel with 4.95 ml of distilledwater; the mixture was shaken 10 times yielding 5 ml of the secondcentesimal dilution. The centesimal dilutions from the third to thetwenty-ninth were prepared in a similar fashion. The thirtiethcentesimal dilution was prepared by solving the twenty ninth one in 20%solution of ethanol. The yielded alcoholic solution was used fortreatment purposes.

[0034] Examples of use of activated forms of ultra-low doses ofantibodies conventionally designated as potentiated (dynamized)antibodies (by analogy with terminology used in homeopathic literature)for treatment of various pathological syndromes are given below.

EXAMPLE 1 Potentiated Antibodies to Hypnotic Medications

[0035] A. Patient I., aged 46, a high school instructor, had long beensuffering from insomnia manifested by difficulties in falling asleep.The patient had a history of hepatitis (hepatitis and impairedmetabolism of xenobiotics in the liver resulting from it probablyaccounted for the aftereffects of the preparation). For the last sixmonths the patient had been taking 7.5 mg of IMOVAN at bedtime 2-3 timesa week; in the morning he suffered from drowsiness and dizziness. Thedose reduced to ½ tablet did not produce the desirable somniferouseffect. The treatment with antibodies to IMOVAN C200 in tablets wasstarted after discontinuation of IMOVAN intake. Two weeks laterdizziness and morning drowsiness disappeared. The patient's sleep becamenormal.

[0036] B. Patient P., aged 62, complained of a sleeping disorder:awakening at 2-3 a.m. The patient had been using barbiturate derivativesas somniferous medications but abandoned these drugs because of theirdecreasing efficiency. The patient was recommended to take 10 drops of a25% alcohol solution of potentiated monospecific antiserum to MIDAZOLAM(dormicum, flormidal,8-chloro-6-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepinehydrochloride) at bedtime. Three days after the beginning of thetreatment the patient stated that he was easier falling asleep; thesleep duration extended to 7. A continued intake of the preparation wasrecommended.

[0037] C. Patient Ch., aged 42, was admitted to hospital in thecondition of moderate alcohol intoxication. Next morning the patientcomplained of tremor and disorders in coordination of movements. After asingle dose of 15 ml of an aqueous solution of potentiated monoclonalantibodies to NITRAZEPAM (radedorm,1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-one) C30 thepatient fell asleep. This suggested a conclusion that the preparationwas efficient in restoration of sleep in the process of arrestingalcohol abstinence syndrome.

[0038] D. Patient R., aged 48, a driver by profession, presentedcomplaints of sleeping disorders due to overfatigue. An intranasaladministration of 0.5 ml of a potentiated aqueous solution C20 ofantibodies to ZOLPIDEM(N,N,6-trimethyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazolo[1,2-a]pyridine acetamide)at bedtime was suggested for controlling his insomnia. At a new visit 5days later the patient stated normalization of his sleep. Examinationdid not reveal any depression of reflexes or muscle tone. This suggesteda conclusion that this preparation can be prescribed to the patientswhose professional activities require precise coordination of movements.

[0039] E. Patient M., aged 54, complained of drowsiness and disorders incoordination of movements and presented a long-time history of the useof somniferous medications. After a 7-day course of treatment withpotentiated solution of monoclonal antibodies to ZOPICLON (imovan)(6-(5-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-6,7-dihydro-7-oxo-5H-pyrrolo-[3,4-b]-pyrazine-5-ylicester of 4-methyl-1-piperazine carboxylic acid) C50 in a dose of 1tablet twice a day the enhancement of motor activity and sleepnormalization were observed.

EXAMPLE 2 Potentiated Antibodies to Anesthetic Drugs

[0040] A. Patient M., aged 36, complained of nausea after the operation(appendectomy). For anesthesia THIOPENTAL SODIUM (monosodium salt of5-ethyldihydro-5-(1-methylbutyl)-2-thiooxo-4,6-(1H,5H)-pyrimidinedione)had been used. An oral intake of 20 ml of a C30 homeopathic dilution ofthe antiserum to thiopental 3 times a day was prescribed, which made itpossible to attenuate nausea.

[0041] B. Patient P., aged 28, complained of cramps in his lowerextremities and hypertonicity of the gastrocnemius muscles. An oralintake of 15 ml of a C200 dilution of potentiated antiserum to SODIUMOXYBUTIRATE (sodium salt of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid) at bedtime wasprescribed. The examination conducted 5 days later showed diminution ofmuscular tonicity.

[0042] C. Patient M., aged 6, was admitted to the otorhinolaryngologicunit for a postoperative check-up after tonsillectomy. An oraladministration of a C30 solution of potentiated antibodies to KETAMINE[(+−)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone hydrochloride]made it possible to reduce the sensitivity of the child's mucosa and toperform an examination.

[0043] D. Patient A., aged 47, complained of hiccup and tachycardiaafter administration of ETHOMIDATE (ethyl ester of(R)-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid). A single oraldose of 50 ml of a homeopathic C30 solution of monoclonal antibodies toethomidate was administered. Thirty minutes later hiccup disappeared andthe cardiac rhythm was back to normal.

[0044] E. Patient D., aged 68, was admitted to a surgical hospital for ascheduled operation on benign prostatic hyperplasia. Three years earlierhe had undergone an operation for urolithiasis under HALOTHANE(1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloro-2-bromoethane) anesthesia. The postoperativeperiod was complicated by liver function disorders manifested bydyspepsia, hyperbilirubinemia, and positive liver function tests. Thepatient presented a history of poor tolerance of other anesthetics.Therefore, slow intravenous infusion of 3 ml of potentiated antibodiesto HALOTHANE dissolved in a 5% glucose solution was used for anestheticpurposes. The operation and the postoperative period showed nocomplications.

EXAMPLE 3 Potentiated Antibodies to Anticonvulsant Drugs

[0045] A. Patient B., aged 19, has been suffering from generalizedepilepsy (grand mal seizures combined with psychomotor symptoms) sincethe age of 5. TEGRETOL (5-carbamoyl-5H-dibenz(b,f)azepine) chosen by thetrial-and-error method had proved to be the most efficientanticonvulsant drug for the patient; she had been receiving a dose of0.2 mg (1 tablet) 3 times a day for 2 years. The patient's motherconsulted the attending doctor at to multiple bruises having appeared onthe patient's body in the course of the last 10 days without anypreceding mechanical trauma. Total blood test revealed a depressed whiteblood (2.9×10³/μl) and platelet count (100×10³/μl). The treatment withC30 potentiated monoclonal antibodies to the dibenzoazepine groupforming the basis of the drug molecule was started whereas TEGRETOL wasdiscontinued. Two weeks later the blood pattern was back to normal, noepileptic seizures were registered.

EXAMPLE 4 Potentiated Antibodies to Antiparkinsonian Drugs

[0046] A. Patient Z., aged 37, developed parkinsonian symptoms aftervernal encephalitis. The patient had been taking daily 10 mg (4 tablets)of BROMOKRYPTINE (2-bromo-α-ergokryptine) with good effect butcomplained of excessive fatigue, headaches, and constipation. Thetreatment with potentiated antibodies to 2-bromo-α-ergokryptine (a C1000dilution) in a daily dose of 1 tablet taken in the morning was started.Three weeks later the bowel function was back to normal and headachessubsided; however, complaints on excessive fatigue persisted.

[0047] B. Patient E., aged 72, was on LEVODOPA (3-hydroxy-1-tyrosine)for Parkinson's disease. He complained of nausea and vomiting.Antiemetic drugs of the phenothiazine group with smaller doses ofLEVODOPA lead to the exacerbation of his main disease. The use of a C200dilution of polyclonal potentiated antibodies to LEVODOPA in a dose of 1tablet twice a day improved the patient's tolerance to the preparation.

EXAMPLE 5 Potentiated Antibodies to Neuroleptics

[0048] A. Patient E., aged 42, was admitted to a psycho-neurologicaldispensary in a condition of psychomotor agitation due to alcoholintoxication. Fifteen minutes after intravenous administration of 1 mlof a C30 aqueous solution of potentiated antiserum to HALOPERIDOL(4-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-1-piperidinyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-butanonedecanoate) in a 5% glucose solution the agitation arrested and thepatient went to sleep.

[0049] B. Patient L., aged 50, consulted her physician for disorderedcoordination of movements. The examination revealed inhibited reflexesin her low extremities, namely the knee-jerk and the Achilles tendonreflexes. She presented a long-time (1.5 months) history of FLUPHENAZINE(moditene) intake. The discontinued use of the preparation was combinedwith an intranasal administration of a C30 aqueous solution ofmonoclonal antibodies to fluphenazine(4-[3-[2-(trifluoromethyl)-10H-phenothiazine-10-yl]propyl]-1-piperazinylethanol)and a once-a-day slow intravenous administration of a dose of 1 ml. Fourdays later the patient's gait was back to normal and the muscle tone ofher low extremities increased.

[0050] C. Patient R., aged 62, complained of restlessness and groundlessnight fears. Earlier she sought for physician's advice for insomnia andused to take radedorm for it. Oral administration at bedtime of theantiserum to AZALEPTINE (clozapine, leponex)(8-chloro-11-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine) ina form of 10 ml of a C200 homeopathic solution was prescribed. Sevendays later phobias disappeared and the sleep became normal.

[0051] D. Patient Ch., aged 45, complained of tremor and disorderedcoordination of movements. He had a long-time history of neurolepticdrugs intake (haloperidol, aminazine) for schizophrenia. Oraladministration of 5 ml of a C30 dilution of homeopathic solution ofmonoclonal antibodies to RISPERIDONE(3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidino]ethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one)twice a day by intramuscular injections was prescribed. Repeatedexamination 7 days later revealed absence of tremor and a tendency tonormalization of the patient's gait. No psychotic disorders wereobserved.

[0052] E. Patient S., aged 29, suffered from depressive-paranoid form ofschizophrenia. He had been taking neuroleptic drugs of the phenothiazineseries for some years; the best clinical effect was noted in TISERCINE(2-methoxy-10-(3-dimethylamino-2-methylpropyl)-phenothiazinehydrochloride). During last 4 months the patient himself and hisrelatives drew their attention to the aggravation of extrapyramidaldisorders and impaired bowel function (constipation). Total blood restrevealed depressed white blood count reaching the lower bound of normal(3.8×103/μl). The use of a C1000 dilution of potentiated monoclonalantibodies to PHENOTHIAZINE in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day for 20days (with discontinued tisercine intake) resulted in a markedrelaxation of extrapyramidal disorders and normalization of the bowelfunction; the patient's white blood count increased to 4.7×103/μl. Nopsychotic disorders were present. The patient's sleep, appetite and moodwere within normal limits.

[0053] F. Patient F., aged 19, suffered from oligophrenia in the form ofidiocy; aggressive behavior. She received a maintaining dose ofHALOPERIDOL(4-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-1-piperidinyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-butanonedecanoate) (20 mg daily) and displayed marked extrapyramidal disorders.The lowering of the dose resulted in the enhancement of the patient'saggressiveness. The use of a C30 dilution of polyclonal potentiatedantibodies to butyrophenone in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day improvedthe tolerance of HALOPERIDOL and made it possible to reduce the dose to5 mg a day and subsequently to maintain the patient in a satisfactorycondition by administering the potentiated preparation alone.

EXAMPLE 6 Potentiated Antibodies to Minor Tranquilizers

[0054] A. Patient V., aged 50, a research worker, has been receiving aday-time tranquilizer, MEZAPAM, for his obsessive-compulsive neurosis.He complained of drowsiness (probably caused by impaired detoxifyingfunction of his liver). The use of a C30 dilution of potentiatedpolyclonal antibodies to the benzodiazepine nucleus made it possible toreplace the tranquilizer. The patient's condition became satisfactory;no neurotic disorders were noted.

[0055] B. Patient E., aged 71, complained of restlessness and insomnia.Oral administration of a C200 preparation of potentiated polyclonalantibodies to DIAZEPAM(7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-one) ina dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day was prescribed. Four days later thedistrict physician noted normalization of sleep along with fewercomplaints of restlessness.

[0056] C. Patient S., aged 30, registered in a psycho-neurologicaldispensary, complained of the onset of restlessness, anxiety, andinsomnia after the withdrawal of PHENAZEPAM. Oral intake of thehomeopathic solution of antiserum to 2H-1,4-benzodiazepine twice a daywas prescribed. After two days of treatment the normalization of sleepand mood were noticed. The general state of health was satisfactory andno anxiety was observed.

[0057] D. Patient I., aged 39, complained of fatigability, disorders incoordination of movements, and restlessness. Examination revealed noorganic disorders of the central nervous system. After the diagnosis ofneurasthenia was established a course of treatment with a C12homeopathic solution of polyclonal antibodies to PHENIBUT(γ-amino-β-phenylbutyric acid hydrochloride) was suggested. After 2 daysof oral intake (1 tablet twice a day) of the preparation tremor subsidedand sleep became normal.

EXAMPLE 7 Potentiated Antibodies to Antidepressants

[0058] A. Patient V., aged 36, complained of the worsening of mood andsleeping disorders in form of early awakening along with difficulties infalling asleep. The patient also stated irritability and tremor withoutobjective reason. An intranasal administration of 5 drops of a C30homeopathic solution of antiserum to FLUOXETIN (PROZAC)(+−)-N-methyl-γ-[4-(trifluormethyl) phenoxy] benzolpropanamine) 3 timesa day was recommended. Upon a new examination 5 days later the patientstated the betterment of his mood along with a tendency to normalizationof sleep. The physician's recommendation was to continue the course oftreatment.

[0059] B. Patient K., aged 39, complained of insomnia, tremor,restlessness, and impaired ability to work. He received a course oftreatment with a C1000 dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies toFLUVOXAMINE((E)-5-methoxy-1-[4-(trifluormethyl)phenyl]-1-pentanone-O-(2-aminoethyl)oxime)in an oral dose of 1 tablet 4 times a day. After 3 days of regular drugintake the normalization of sleep was observed along with theimprovement of mood and control of restlessness.

[0060] C. Patient Sh., aged 56, complained of restlessness, feeling offear, and sleep disorders. An intranasal administration of 1 ml of a 2%C30 solution of antiserum to AMITRIPTYLINE(3-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[a,d]-cyclohepten-5-ylidene)-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanamine)3 times a day was recommended.

[0061] Upon a new examination 3 days later the patient stated thenormalization of sleep along with the reduction in the frequency andintensity of his fits of phobia. He was advised to continue thistreatment; high efficacy of the drug in this particular case was noted.

[0062] D. A young man aged 18 had been suffering from enuresis since hischildhood. AMITRIPTYLINE was found to have a good effect upon him. Afterthree weeks of treatment the patient's relatives noticed his drowsiness,the patient himself complained of visual disorders (impairedaccommodation) and bouts of arrhythmia from time to time. A C50 dilutionof potentiated monoclonal antibodies to the tricyclic group,constituting the nucleus of tricyclic antidepressants was prescribed ina dose of 1 tablet twice a day. The symptoms of side effects disappearedwhereas the curative action persisted.

[0063] E. Patient Ch., aged 32, a manager, presented a vast number ofcomplaints among which the dominating were constant tiredness, poorsleep with no refreshing effect, reduced ability to work, depression,constipation along with joint and muscle aches. This condition had beenlasting for more than half a year. A thorough clinical and laboratoryexamination revealed no psycho-neurological or somatic lesions thatwould account for such syndromes. The diagnosis of a chronic fatiguesyndrome was established. A month of combined therapy includingphysiotherapy, vitamin therapy, and antidepressant IMIPRAMINE intakeresulted in a mild positive effect. The treatment with a C200 dilutionof potentiated antibodies to IMIPRAMINE in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times aday was begun. A week later a marked improvement in the patient'scondition was noted; his ability to work increased and the number ofcomplaints declined.

[0064] F. Patient K., aged 29, was admitted to a psycho-neurologicalhospital with an established diagnosis of manic-depressive psychosis inthe phase of exacerbation. During examination the patient complained ofthe lack of motivations and tearfulness; the patient was not activephysically. He used to take amitriptyline and diazepam for a long time.An oral intake of a C1000 solution of the antiserum to MOCLOBEMIDE(aurorix) (p-chloro-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)-benzamide) in the form of 5 mlof the aqueous solution 2 times a day was prescribed. A new examination4 days later showed that the patient became more compliant; improvedmood and enhanced liveliness were reported. A conclusion was drawn thatthe therapy was efficient.

[0065] G. Patient C., aged 49, suffered from depression and sociophobia;he had been receiving daily 225 mg of MOCLOBEMIDE (aurorix) (1.5 tabletsin three doses). Despite his attending physician's warnings the patientsometimes broke his diet. Twice after eating a cheese sandwich and apizza with cheese he had episodes of hypertension, his blood pressurereaching 190/110 mm Hg. With moclobemide discontinued, a C30 dilution ofpotentiated polyclonal antibodies to moclobemide was administered in adose of 1 tablet once a day. Further on, the treatment was welltolerated and depression symptoms subsided rapidly.

[0066] H. Patient S., aged 44, developed fluctuations of mood,tearfulness, and low vital activity caused by the climacteric period.Her psychiatrist estimated these symptoms as manifestations of adepressive syndrome. The use of traditional antidepressants causedsomnolence and lethargy interfering with her professional duties. Theprescription of a C12 dilution of potentiated antiserum to CERTRALINEpurified by affinity chromatography in a dose of 1 tablet twice a dayresulted in a rapid improvement of he patient's general state andstabilization of her mood.

EXAMPLE 8 Potentiated Antibodies to Antiemetic Drugs of Central Action

[0067] A. Patient Zh., aged 64, developed nausea and vomiting during thecourse of radio- and chemotherapy for peripheral lung cancer. Theprescription of MOTILIUM controlled manifestations of dyspepsia butcaused weakness, somnolence and intestinal cramps. With MOTILIUMdiscontinued, the administration of 1 ml of a C6 dilution of potentiatedantibodies to MOTILIUM in the form of intramuscular injections twice aday resulted in the disappearance of neurotoxic and spastic reactions.The use of the preparation was continued with a positive clinicaleffect.

EXAMPLE 9 Potentiated Antibodies to Central-action Muscle Relaxants

[0068] A. Patient B., aged 25, developed contractures of his lowerextremities after a spinal trauma. MYDOCALM(1-piperidino-2-methyl-3-para-tolylpropanone-3hydrochloride) in a doseof 300 mg a day was prescribed. After a favorable initial effect thepatient noticed a gradual increase in the muscular tension in his lowerextremities along with systemic arterial hypotension (105/60 mm Hg)after 2 months of the treatment. The prescription of a C200 dilution ofpotentiated antibodies to MYDOCALM in a dose of 1 tablet twice a dayresulted in the normalization of arterial blood pressure (120/70) aswell as in the reduction of muscular tension. The antibody therapy madeit possible to reduce the dose of MYDOCALM by 25%.

EXAMPLE 10 Potentiated Antibodies to Choline Esterase Inhibitors

[0069] A. Patient P., aged 20, with an established diagnosis ofcongenital myasthenia took UBRETIDE(3-oxy-1-methylpyridinium-hexamethylene-bis-(N-methylcarbamate)dibromide) (the maintaining dose was 1 tablet every other day). Shestarted complaining of excessive salivation and abdominal cramps. Theuse of a D6 dilution of potentiated antibodies to UBRETIDE in a dailymorning dose of 1 tablet improved the patient's tolerance of UBRETIDEwithout reducing its efficacy and later made it possible to switch totherapy with the potentiated preparation only.

EXAMPLE 11 Potentiated Antibodies to Psychostimulants and NootropicDrugs

[0244] K. Patient D., aged 28, complained of night episodes of pulseintermittence, mild pain in the left part of her thorax.Electrocardiography revealed no organic lesions of the myocardium. Afterthe preceding therapy had been cancelled, the patient started the oralintake of a C30 dilution of potentiated antibodies to SOTALOL(N-[4-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide) in a dose of 1 tablet at bedtime. During the following 10days there were no attacks of arrhythmia or pain.

[0245] Potentiated antibodies to VERAPAMIL(α-[3-[[2-(3,4-dimetoxyphenyl)ethyl]methylamino]propyl]-3,4-dimetoxy-α-(1-methylethyl)benzeneacetonitryl).

[0246] L. Patient K., aged 34, complained of headache, tachycardia, andoverfatigue. The examination revealed elevated blood pressure (140/90).The recommendation was to take nasal drops of a C200 aqueous solution ofpotentiated antibodies to VERAPAMIL (α-[3-[[2-(3,4-dimetoxyphenyl)ethyl]methylamino]propyl]-3,4-dimetoxy-α-(1-methylethyl)benzeneacetonitryl)in a dose of 0.5 ml at bedtime. The patient reported feeling better, hisblood pressure dropped to the normal level after two days of thetreatment. It was recommended to continue the course of treatment.

[0247] M. Patient Z., aged 55, with an established diagnosis of ischemicheart disease, angina of effort, atrial extrasystoles, and tachycardia(90 beats/min) had been taking 240 mg of ISOPTIN daily in a dose of 1tablet 3 times a day. The patient complained of constipation notassociated with the regimen faults or diet changes. The intake ofpotentiated antibodies to ISOPTIN LM 50 in a dose of 1 tablet 2 times aday resulted in the normalization of the bowel function withoutinterfering with the basic therapeutic effect of ISOPTIN. Later on, thedose of ISOPTIN was gradually reduced and finally ISOPTIN wasdiscontinued. The patient's condition remained satisfactory for twomonths against the background of therapy with antibodies.

[0248] N. Patient D., aged 63, with the diagnosis of progressive chroniccardiac failure was treated at the cardiology unit of a clinicalhospital (intravenous infusion of 30 mg of MILRINONE daily in a dose of10 ml 3 times a day). As the patient's myocardial contractive capacityand hemodynamic indices were gradually improving, there appearedcomplaints of heartache. ECG revealed signs of myocardial ischemia. Thetreatment with a C12 dilution of potentiated antibodies to MILRINONE ina dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day was started. Heartache disappeared, theECG pattern returned to normal, and the treatment with MILRINONE wascontinued. Gradually the preparation was discontinued and the patientwas switched to the treatment with antibodies alone in a dose of 1tablet a day. The patient's condition is satisfactory.

[0249] O. Patient S., aged 58, had been taking MILRINONE for 1.5 yearsfor chronic cardiac failure. In the course of the period of treatmentthe daily dose had to be increased from 10 to 30 mg because of thedeveloping resistance to the preparation. After the prescription of aC30 dilution of potentiated antibodies to the enzyme PHOSPHODIESTERASEin a dose of 1 sublingual tablet once a day to be taken in the morningthe patient's condition markedly improved: the ECG signs of myocardialoverload and ischemia became less pronounced and peripheral edemadisappeared. Three months of a regular intake of potentiated antibodiesmade it possible to reduce the daily dose of MILRINONE to 10 mg.

[0250] Potentiated antibodies to CORDARON.

[0251] P. Patient S., aged 50, had been suffering from stable angina ofeffort with paroxysms of ciliary arrhythmia for 2 years. From the onsetof his illness the patient had been taking CORDARON in a dose of 600 mga day (3 tablets). After a year of the treatment an increase in thefrequency of paroxysms of ciliary arrhythmia was registered. Paroxysmsoccurred every day; an increase in the dose of CORDARON as well as theadministration of other antiarrhythmic drugs was inefficient. Nophysical or emotional strain accounted for the paroxysms; the paroxysmscease spontaneously. This condition seemed indicative of a thyroidfunction disorder; the patient was examined by an endocrinologist whoestablished the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis of a moderate severity. Thepatient's thyroid profile looked as follows: TTH 1,29 mIU/l (the normalrange is 0.45-6.2), total T4 180.3 nmol/l (the normal range is 39-155),T3 3.2 nmol/l (the normal range is 1.2-3.1). The treatment with a C24dilution of potentiated antibodies to CORDARON in a dose of 1 tablet 3times a day was started. Within a month the euthyroid state wasachieved. Now the patient takes CORDARON in a dose of 100 mg a day (¼ ofa tablet 2 times a day), paroxysms of ciliary arrhythmia are rare (aboutonce a week).

[0357] G. Patient A., aged 28, had been staying at hospital for basicantirheumatic therapy-resistant rheumatoid arthritis. The patient hadbeen treated with CYCLOSPORIN A (CsA) (2.5 mg/kg per diem) for 4 monthswith good therapeutic effect. A routine blood test showed an elevatedcreatinine level; the patient's blood pressure was raising in the courseof the last week (160/90 mm Hg). The danger of the exacerbation ofarthritis and the inefficiency of other medications precludedcancellation of treatment with CsA. The dose of CsA was reduced to 1.5mg/kg per diem and a C200 dilution of potentiated antibodies to CsA wasprescribed in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day. After a week of thetreatment the creatinine content went back to normal, the blood pressuredropped to 120/75 mm Hg. The stable antirheumatic effect of CsApersisted along with the patient's good tolerance of it. Later CsA wasdiscontinued. The intake of potentiated antibodies was continued in adose of 1 tablet every day. Catamnesis 6 months later: rheumatoidarthritis in the phase of remission.

The patient usedto take various antibiotics on his own initiative and without system,including phenoxymethylpenicillin. Along with the amelioration of hisgeneral condition (the lowering of the body temperature, the lesseningof pain, and the reduction of the white blood count), the patientstarted complaining of nausea. Following his doctor's advice, thepatient began to take AMOXYCLAV at meals; however, nausea persisted. A7-days' course of the treatment with a C6 dilution of potentiatedantibodies to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (common for all penicillins) in adose of 1 tablet 3 times a day was carried out. The tolerance of thepreparation improved; the patient presented no complaints, noindications for surgical treatment were seen; as the blood count and thebody temperature were back to normal, the patient was discharged fromhospital under local polyclinic observation. Recommendations for theregimen and further treatment were given.

[0367] E. Patient V., aged 34, suffered from severe bilateralpolysegmentary pneumonia with a II-III degree of respiratory failure,chronic alcoholism, chronic hepatitis, secondary immunodeficiency. Thepatient started receiving MAXINIM (cephalosporin of the IV generation)in a dose of 1.0 gram intramuscularly every 12 hours. At the 3^(rd) dayof the treatment the patient's condition ameliorated, dyspnea and coughsubsided, and the body temperature went down. However, the paint startedcomplaining of nausea, his functional liver tests showed elevated valuesof ALT and AST. The treatment protocol was completed with a C50 dilutionof potentiated antibodies to MAXINIM in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times aday. The patient's condition kept improving, the nausea disappeared, andthe ALT and AST values dropped to the upper bound of normal.

[0368] F. Patient K., aged 46, was taking RULIDE for acute prostatitisin a dose of 150 mg twice a day. After three days of the treatment thesymptoms of prostatitis subsided but the patient started complaining ofdizziness and distorted smell and taste of food. The treatment with aC30 dilution of potentiated antibodies to RULIDE in a dose of 1 tablet 3times a day was started and within three days the taste and odorperception was back to normal and dizziness disappeared.

[0369] G. Patient G., aged 25, suffered from the exacerbation of chronicadnexitis after criminal abortion, polynarcomania, and secondaryimmunodeficiency. She was treated with CIPROBAY (125 mg 2 times a day).After 6 days of the treatment the patient felt better; however, shestarted having fainting spells and hot flashes. A C200 dilution ofpotentiated antibodies to CIPROBAY in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day wasprescribed. Within the days the patient's complaints disappeared, hercondition became satisfactory.

[0370] H. Patient Sh., aged 44, had been treated with CIPROFLOXACIN forthe exacerbation of chronic suppurative obstructive bronchitis. Thechoice of the drug had been based on the results provided by theantibioticogram; the repeated use if this medication had been givingclinical success. However, in this case no positive bronchologicaldynamics was achieved after 2 weeks of treatment. The antibiotic wasdiscontinued and the treatment with a C6 dilution of potentiatedmonoclonal antibodies to CIPROFLOXACIN in a dose of 1 tablet twice a daybegan. Within ten days all symptoms of bronchial obstructiondisappeared, no suppurative mucus was seen during bronchoscopy. Aconclusion was drawn on the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effectsof potentiated antibodies.

[0371] I. Patient I., aged 42, was staying in a phthisiologic hospitalwith an established diagnosis of infiltrative tuberculosis of the upperlobe of the right lung in the phase of disintegration and dissemination,with bacterioexcretion. After three months of the treatment withisoniazid, rifampicin, and streptomycin positive clinical and X-raydynamics was achieved. However, the subsequent two months of thetreatment with the antibacterial drugs did not bring any significantimprovement of the patient's condition: infiltration and a cavern in theupper lobe of the right lung persisted and showed no tendency for afurther reduction; the release of bacteria persisted as well. The invitro resistance to antibiotics was not found at the initial stage ofexaminations or five months later. The treatment with a C200 dilution ofpotentiated antibodies to ISONIAZID, RIFAMPICIN, and STREPTOMYCIN in adose of 1 tablet of each preparation daily made it possible to achievepositive X-ray dynamics within two months; the release of bacteriastopped.

[0372] J. Patient Ch., aged 36, was staying at the infectious hospitalfor amebic dysentery. After four days of the administration ofORNIDAZOLE (1.0 g per diem) the patient started complaining ofsomnolence and dizziness.

Because of the lessening of the effect ofprednisolone she was began to receive potentiated polyclonal antibodiesto native DNA isolated from lymphocytes of the patient's peripheralblood. Antibodies were obtained by immunization of a rabbit withsubsequent purification of the antiserum and its potentiation based onhomeopathic technology. The intake of a C1000 dilution of potentiatedantibodies to autoantigens of DNA in a dose of 1 tablet twice a dayresulted in a marked inhibition of the activity of the autoimmuneprocess within two weeks. The laboratory findings were as follows: ESRdecreased from 50 to 16 mm/h, the titer of the antinuclear factorlowered. Catamnesis: 6 months of the intake of potentiated antibodiesgave clinical and laboratory remission.

EXAMPLE 44 Potentiated Antibodies to Rhesus (Rh) Factor

[0378] Patient S., aged 28, Rh³¹ (her husband was Rh⁺) was admitted tohospital with the diagnosis of a 8-weeks' pregnancy. This was her fourthpregnancy. She had a history of normal first pregnancy ending withnormal delivery, the second pregnancy was interrupted by medicalabortion at the term of 10 weeks, and the third pregnancy ended withantenatal death of the fetus because of the Rh conflict at the term of38 weeks. In order to prevent the Rh conflict and to maintain thecurrent pregnancy she started to take a C200 dilution of polyclonalpotentiated antibodies to Rh factor beginning with the 8^(th) week in adose of 1 tablet twice a week.

[0379] Potentiated antibodies to opiates.

[0380] A. Patient S., aged 28, had an almost uninterrupted 5-yearhistory of intravenous self-injections of crude homemade acetylatedopium (sultyga). He was admitted to a narcological unit 24 hours afterthe last injection. The patient was irritated and gloomy and complainedof intense pains in his extremities, chills, and insomnia. The oralintake of 10 drops of a C200 dilution of a potentiated aqueous solutionof natural antibodies to morphine hydrochloride every 15-30 minutes wasprescribed. The antibodies had been isolated by affinity chromatographyfrom the serum of a patient with chronic morphine dependency. Thetherapy resulted in a quick disappearance of vegetative disorders andthe lessening of the intensity of the myalgia. Six hours after thebeginning of the therapy the patient went to sleep. Two days later thewithdrawal symptoms virtually disappeared. A conclusion was drawn on thesufficiency of monotherapy with antibodies to morphine in the case ofthe opiate withdrawal syndrome.

[0381] B. Patient K., aged 21, was admitted to a narcology unit withtypical manifestations of the opiate withdrawal syndrome. Questioningrevealed that she had been abusing crude homemade extract of poppy seedstraw (koknar) in the form of intravenous self-injections in the courseof two years. A combined therapy with a C1000 dilution of potentiatedmonoclonal antibodies to morphine in a dose of 1 tablet once in 2 hoursand a C200 dilution of potentiated antibodies to codeine in a dose of 1tablet in the morning and 1 at bedtime was prescribed. Within 48 hoursall manifestations of the withdrawal syndrome were completely arrested.

[0382] C. Patient I., aged 42, was emergently admitted to a narcologyunit with the diagnosis of codeine overdosage. The patient was somnolentand had periodic bouts of nausea. The examination revealed depressedreflexes, bradycardia, and moderate hypotension. The patient was put ona slow intravenous infusion of 200 ml of an isotonic solution containingpolyclonal potentiated antibodies to opiates of the phenotrene groupmixed in the following proportions: 1 ml of a C200 dilution ofantibodies to morphine; 1 ml of a C1000 dilution to codeine; 1 ml of aC50 dilution to thebaine; 1 ml of a C30 dilution to pseudomorphine; 1 mlof a C12 dilution of antibodies to neopine. Within two hours after thebeginning of the treatment the symptoms of intoxication completelydisappeared.

[0383] D. Patient D., aged 16, had been inhaling heroin at least threetimes a week in the course of the last 1.5 months. On his parents'accord he was hospitalized in a restricted admission unit for 24 days.Two days after admission he became irritable, developed sleepingdisorders, and complained of attraction to the drug when talking to hisphysician. The prescription was: a C1000 dilution of potentiatedpolyclonal antibodies to heroin in a dose of 1 tablet 6 times a day.Three weeks later the patient reported even mood and satisfactory sleepand appetite. During individual talks with a psychologist he deniedhaving attraction to the drug. It was recommended to keep takingantibodies to heroin in a dose of 1 tablet a day. Two months after hisdischarge from hospital he (according to his mother's information) hasnever been noticed taking drugs.

[0384] E. Patient Kh., aged 24, had been injecting intravenously somecrude homemade heroin preparations for three years. He was admitted to anarcology unit in a state of sopor. In view of the inefficiency ofpotentiated antibodies to heroin during his previous treatment, it wasrecommended to start the oral administration of a mixture of aqueoussolutions of monoclonal antibodies to the following synthetic andsemisynthetic opiates: a C50 dilution of antibodies to dionine(ethylmorphine); a C1000 dilution to promedol: a C30 dilution tophentanyl. Thirty minutes later the patient became fully conscious andoriented in time. His reflexes were moderately depressed. He told thephysicians that he had self-injected a dose of an unknown drug at thediscotheque.

[0385] Potentiated antibodies to barbiturates and other soporific drugs.

[0386] F. Patient B., aged 32, was admitted to an intensive care unit inthe status epilepticus. According to his relatives, he had been takingvarious drugs of the barbiturate group both orally and intravenously inthe course of the last years. The intravenous infusion of the followingmixture of potentiated monoclonal antibodies to barbiturates wasprescribed: a C50 dilution of antibodies to barbamyl (amytal sodium); aC200 dilution to nembutal (ethaminal sodium); a C1000 dilution tofanodorm (cyclobarbital) in a dose of 1 ml each. Within 15 minutes afterthe beginning of the therapy the status epilepticus was controlled, thepatient lapsed into a stunned condition. During further observation atthe hospital the patient was irritated and suffered from insomnia anddysphoria from time to time. He tried to get hold of soporific drugs. Aninterview revealed that he had also been taking drugs of the ureidegroup (bromural) and noxyron besides barbiturates. In view of this thepatient was advised to take a C50 dilution of potentiated monoclonalantibodies to bromural in combination with a C200 dilution ofpotentiated polyclonal antibodies to noxyron 1 tablet alternately everytwo hours. The patient's condition seriously improved: there was nodysphoria, he became less torpid, and his sleep was back to normal. Hestopped searching for soporific drugs and was discharged in asatisfactory condition.

[0387] Potentiated antibodies to cannabinoids.

[0388] G. Patient S., aged 24, was admitted to a psychiatric unit withpronounced depressive disorders. He had had a long history of hashishuse (up to 5-8 joints a day). As the treatment with antidepressantsproved inefficient, the oral intake of 10 ml of an aqueous solutioncontaining the following mixture of potentiated polyclonal antibodies tocannabinoids: a C50 dilution of antibodies to canabidiol; a C30 dilutionto cannabinol; a C200 dilution to (−)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol.After 10 days of the treatment the patient's mood became even and hissleep was back to normal. Two weeks after the beginning of the treatmentwith antibodies the patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition.

[0389] H. Patient D., aged 14, had been using drugs for 6 months. Sheused to chew the so-called bang (hashish tar). She was willing to betreated and his district narcologist prescribed potentiated monoclonalantibodies to cannabinoids in a dose of 1 tablet every morning accordingto the following scheme: a C50 dilution of potentiated monoclonalantibodies to Δ⁸-tetrahydrocannabinol during the first two weeks of themonth and potentiated monoclonal antibodies to Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinolicacid during the last two weeks. Six months of medical observation showedthat the patient had given up drug abuse. The, patient is sociallyadapted and continues her studies.

[0390] Potentiated antibodies to cocaine and its metabolites.

[0391] I. Patient S., aged 28, had been using crack (a mixture ofcocaine with baking soda) for 1.5 years. He was admitted to atherapeutic unit with the diagnosis of cachexy caused by chronichepatitis of an unknown origin. Two weeks of health-improving therapyand hepatotropic treatment did not produce any significant effect. Inorder to control asthenic symptoms the treatment was supplemented withtablets of a C50 dilution of monoclonal potentiated antibodies tococaine (in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day). After three weeks of thetreatment the preparation was substituted by tablets containingpolyclonal antibodies to cocaine metabolites: a C50 dilution ofantibodies to benzoylecgonine and a C200 dilution of antibodies toecgonine. The treatment resulted in the normalization of the patient'smood and sleep; he gained 18 kg of weight. Two months after thebeginning of the therapy the patient was discharged in a satisfactorycondition.

[0392] J. Patient O., aged 17, was brought to the narcologicalrestricted admission unit by her parents. In the course of the last twomonths she had been self-injecting cocaine solutions intravenously. Aninterview with a psychologist revealed signs of a psychic dependence onthis drug. The prescription was: a C50 dilution of polyclonal antibodiesto a cocaine metabolite, norcocaine, in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a dayduring the first 10 days of hospital stay. The same pattern was appliedto her second 10 days of hospital stay (a C200 dilution of polyclonalantibodies to methylecgonine) and to the third 10-days' period (a C1000dilution of polyclonal antibodies to hydroxycocaine) in the third decadeof her hospital stay. The treatment with homeopathic doses of antibodiesto cocaine metabolites resulted in a considerable improvement of thepatient's condition of health: her mood became even and her sleep wasback to normal. A test before discharge one month later revealed nosigns of psychic dependence. Catamnesis four months later: the patientis socially adapted and has not been noticed using drugs.

[0393] Potentiated antibodies to benzodiazepines.

[0394] K. Patient S. aged 38, had a 20-year long history of the abuse oftranquilizers and psychotropic drugs of the benzodiazepine group.Against the background of the drug abuse the patient developed apsychoorganic syndrome with predominant astheno-apathic symptoms and thepatient was granted the 2^(nd) degree of disability. The scheme ofnootropic treatment prescribed by the district physician involved along-term intake of polyclonal potentiated antibodies to a number ofbenzodiazepines, namely, a C50 dilution of antibodies to chlozepid; aC50 dilution to diazepam; a C200 dilution to oxazepam; a C200 dilutionto nitrazepam; a C1000 dilution to lorazepam. As a result a C1000dilution of polyclonal potentiated antibodies to clonazepam proved to bethe best choice for the patient. He had been taking them every day in adose of 1 tablet twice a day for 14 months, which resulted in theimprovement of his intellectual capacities and memory. Now his behavioris well ordered; the patient is capable of taking care of himself; hismother reports that he hasn't been using any sedatives during thisperiod.

[0396] L. Patient C., aged 26, was admitted to a psychiatry departmentwith the diagnosis of psychosis caused by ephedron abuse. Among thesymptoms anxiety, alertness, alarming expectations, and paranoidattitude prevailed. The intravenous administration of a C50 dilution ofpotentiated monoclonal antibodies to ephedron in a dose of 1 ml twicewithin the first hour of treatment was prescribed. After 1.5 hours ofthe therapy psychotic disorders disappeared. The patient's attitude tohis delusional episode is critical.

[0397] M. Patient Kh., aged 41, engaged at diplomatic service wasadmitted to a intensive care unit because of a long period (about 18hours) of somnolence. According to his wife's information, the patientused to indulge alone in an intravenous administration of somestimulants but definitely not cocaine. The prescription was: a slowintravenous infusion of physiological saline solution containing 1 ml ofa C50 dilution of potentiated antibodies to amphetamine and 1 ml a C30dilution of polyclonal potentiated antibodies to methamphetamine. Withinfifteen minutes the lethargic symptoms were arrested. The patient wasfully conscious and well oriented. He told the physician that he hadadministered a single dose of amphetamine intravenously.

[0398] N. Patient T., aged 17, administered himself ephedrineintravenously three times in the course of the last month for the firsttime in his life. On his own initiative he went to seek fornarcologist's advice, as he was afraid of becoming an addict. Theprescription was: the intake of a combined preparation containingpolyclonal antibodies to ephedrine and polyclonal antibodies tonorephedrine in a potentiated form (dilutions C50 and C200,respectively) in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day. For half a year thepatient paid regular visits to his physician twice a month and reportedno episodes of ephedrine use during this period.

[0399] O. Patient L., aged 25, sought for narcologist's advice on hisown initiative. After 1.5 years of imprisonment he had become addictedto chifir (an extra strong tea brew) and used it at least 1-2 times aday. A C50 dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies to caffeine(1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) in a dose of 1 tablet twice a day. During hissubsequent visits the patient stated that he had been drinking chifirvery rarely (not more often than once a week) but could not give it upaltogether.

[0400] Potentiated antibodies to hallucinogens (psychedelic drugs).

[0401] P. Patient K., aged 28, was brought to the psychiatric departmentfrom a hotel where he had attracted the hotel staff's attention by hisinadequate behavior: he was contemplating something, used to freezesuddenly and stand motionless, he was poorly oriented in the situationaround him. In response to physician's questions the patient answeredthat he used to take pieces of blotting paper impregnated with LSDsublingually. A single dose (1 ml) of a C200 dilution of a solutioncontaining potentiated polyclonal antibodies to lysergic aciddiethylamide (LSD) was administered. Fifteen minutes after theadministration of the preparation the psychotic disorders were arrested.

[0402] Q. Two A. brothers, aged 16 and 19, with the diagnosis ofpoisoning with dried ink fungi were admitted to a psychiatric unit. Asthe quantity of potentiated preparation available at that moment at theunit was insufficient, one of the patients received intravenously 1 mlof a C200 dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies to psilocin andthe other, 1 ml of a C50 dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodiesto psilocybin. Within an hour the condition of both patients returned tonormal, their excitement and unrestraint disappeared, and they both wentto sleep. A conclusion was drawn on high efficiency of bothpreparations.

[0403] R. Patient D., aged 19, was admitted to a neurology unit formanifestations of catalepsia. In view of the fact that the patient hadbeen taking the drug phenycyclidine (PCP), she underwent hourlyintramuscular administrations of 1 ml of a D3 dilution of the solutionof potentiated antibodies to phenycyclidine. Within three hours thecataleptic syndrome was completely arrested.

[0404] S. Patient A., aged 38, has the 2^(nd) degree of disabilitybecause of paranoid schizophrenia. For fifteen years he had been takinghigh daily doses of haloperidol in combination with parcopan or cyclodolfor the prevention of narcolepsia and had already developed physicaldependence on them. The attending physician started reducing graduallythe dose of cyclodol ending up with replacing it completely with a C30dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies to cyclodol in a dose of 1tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at bedtime every day. The patientkeeps taking haloperidol and doesn't have any neuroleptic symptoms; norequests for cyclodol prescription.

[0405] Potentiated antibodies to alkaloids of tobacco.

[0406] T. Patient I., aged 29, consulted a narcologist for tobaccosmoking. Because the neuropharmacological preparations he used to takeearlier had not succeeded to rid him of the bad habit, the physicianprescribed a C200 dilution of a potentiated antiserum to nicotine in adose of 1 tablet 3 times a day. Catamnesis 3 months later was asfollows: in the course of the first weeks of the therapy with antibodiesthe patient's craving for tobacco was enhanced and he smoked more often.Later on, the situation changed, his craving receded, he was able togradually reduce the number of smoked cigarettes and finally to give upsmoking altogether.

[0407] Potentiated antibodies to alcohol.

[0408] U. Patient B., aged 35, was admitted to a narcological hospitalwith pronounced symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. A C200 dilution ofpotentiated monoclonal antibodies to ethanol in a dose of 1 sublingualtablet every 15 minutes was prescribed. Within two hours of the therapythe patient's condition significantly improved: the tremor,hyperhydrosis, and weakness disappeared, the patient went to sleep.Twenty-four hours later he was discharged. Conclusion: potentiatedantibodies to ethanol have a therapeutic effect in the case of thealcohol withdrawal syndrome.

EXAMPLE 46 Potentiated Antibodies to Antigens of Fetal and PrimordialTissues and Tissue Cultures

[0409] A. Patient A. was a newborn baby 27 days old. He was born withsymptoms of perinatal encephalopathy. As immunoenzyme diagnostic methodshad revealed elevated levels of embryotropic neurospecific antigens inmother before this pregnancy, it was decided to administer to the baby aC200 dilution of a potentiated polyclonal antiserum to bovine fetalbrain-specific non-species-specific protein (antigen), 14-3-2(brain-specific enolase), in an oral dose of 5 drops of an aqueoussolution to be administered 3 times a day. In the course of thetreatment neurological symptoms subsided gradually; the reflexes of oraland spinal automatism restored and muscle hypertonus receded. The babybecame calmer and started active breast sucking. A conclusion was drawnon the efficiency of potentiated antibodies to the said fetal antigencontrolling normal morphogenesis of the central nervous system in thetreatment of perinatal encephalopathy.

[0410] B. Patient D., aged 4, with an established diagnosis of mentalretardation had been receiving a C1000 dilution of monoclonalpotentiated antibodies to primordial antigen nestin, a protein marker ofneuron stem cells, in a dose of 5 drops of an aqueous solution once aday in the morning for six months with the purpose of enhancing thechild's intellectual capacities. After six months of the treatment aneuropsychological examination showed that D's intellect and memory wereup to the standard age level; the child's kindergarten tutor reportedthat the boy comprehended and learned the material well in class.

[0411] C. Patient I., aged 8, with an established diagnosis of Down'ssyndrome had been receiving a C200 dilution of potentiated polyclonalantibodies to α-fetoprotein to be taken in a dose of 1 tablet a day forthe first 12 months and in a dose of 1 tablet once in 3 days forsubsequent 6 months. The neuropsychological examination by Bailey'smethod revealed a marked enhancement of the patient's intellect 1.5years later. The patient's behavior is well ordered; he is adapted tobeing with other children.

[0412] D. Patient S., aged 18, suffered from myasthenia of an unknownorigin. In view of the inefficiency of conventional drugs the treatmentwas supplemented by the oral intake of a C30 dilution of potentiatedpolyclonal antibodies to the culture of neuronal stem cell of the Tera-1line enriched with the protein extract of the embryonic tissue in a doseof 1 ml 3 times a day for 6 months. The combined treatment resulted inan increased tolerance of physical strain, receded bulbar symptoms,diplopia, and ptosis, which made it possible to reduce the daily dosesof corticosteroid drugs several times.

[0413] E. Patient M., aged 42, suffered from the astheno-neurologicalsyndrome accompanying the remote period of vernal encephalitis. Asconventional therapy proved its inefficiency, it was decided toprescribe the oral intake of a C200 dilution of potentiated polyclonalantibodies to embryonic neocortex (the antiserum was obtained byimmunization of rabbits with tissues from the occipital zone of thebrain cortex of 15-day old embryos of Wistar line rats) in a dose of 1ml twice a day, for 6 months. In the course of treatment the patient'sasthenic symptoms became less pronounced, his ability to work wasrestored, though disseminated microsymptoms persisted in hisneurological status.

[0414] F. Patient K., aged 39, suffered from chronic alcoholism, gradeII. He went to seek for narcologist's advice declaring his desire tostart a sober life and asking for a new method of treatment becausethose he had already tried were of little effect. The prescription was:a regular intake of a C1000 dilution of polyclonal potentiatedantibodies to homogenized hippocampi of embryos of Wistar line rats(hippocampi of several dozens of syngenic fetuses were used forimmunization) in a dose of 1 tablet once a day. The remission had beenlasting for 8 months, in the course of this period of medicalobservation no episodes of consuming alcoholic beverages have beenregistered, the patient states the absence of craving for alcohol.

[0415] G. Patient A., aged 8, suffered from liver cirrhosis of anunknown etiology. As the conventional therapy had no significant effect,the oral intake of a C4 dilution of polyclonal potentiated antibodies tohomogenized liver of the human fetus was prescribed in a dose of 1 ml 3times a day. During four months of the therapy a clinical improvement ofthe patient's condition was observed, manifestations of generalintoxication symptoms and liver failure subsided. The patient'semotional tone rose, the paleness of skin, the icteric hue of thescleras, and spider-like hemangiomas disappeared; the size of the liverdiminished. A conclusion was drawn on high efficiency of this mode oftreatment.

EXAMPLE 47 Potentiated Antibodies to Tissues or Tissue Cultures

[0416] A. Patient O., aged 8, suffers from a malignant course ofinsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The intranasal administration of aC50 dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies to a culture ofinsular cells of the pancreata of newborn rabbits in a dose of 1 ml 3times a day was prescribed with therapeutic purposes. After three monthsof the therapy the course of illness became stable, the blood glucoselevel went down, and the disposition to ketoacidosis receded. There wereno comas or hypoglycemic episodes during the period of the treatment andthe amount of insulin intake was reduced by 50%.

[0417] B. Patient P., aged 35, suffered from insulin-dependent diabetesmellitus (mild course). As the patient was unwilling to take insulin,the recommendation was to start the oral intake of 1 ml of a C50dilution of an aqueous solution of polyclonal potentiated antiserum toinsular cells of the pancreas of a newborn calf once a day. As a resultof the monotherapy with this preparation, the patient was feeling well.Her blood glucose level was within normal limits. The patient did nottake insulin any more.

[0418] C. Patient V., aged 56, suffered from obstructing atherosclerosisof coronary arteries and angina decubitus. In view the inefficiency ofconventional therapy the prescription was to take intranasally a C30dilution of potentiated polyclonal antibodies to the homogenized heartof a newborn rabbit in a dose of 3 drops of an aqueous solution 5 timesa day. After six months of the therapy the intensity of pain wasreduced, the patient had pain much more seldom and only after asufficiently strong physical strain; his blood lipid formula becamenormal and the dose of nitrate drugs was reduced approximnately by 50%.

[0419] Thus, an analysis of the examples given above shows that theactivated form of ultra-low doses of antibodies to an antigen (asubstance or a pharmaceutical agent) does not produce the well-knownimmunological effect of binding the antigen and inhibiting its activity;on the contrary, it reproduces the antigen's activity in a modifiedform, which results in a partial or complete reduction of thepathological syndrome, in the regulation of whose mechanisms ofdevelopment the said antigen is involved. In this case suchantigen-associated side effects as toxicity, addiction, and toleranceare absent.

[0420] In addition, activated antibodies in ultra-low doses potentiate(reinforce) the effect of an antigen (a pharmaceutical agent) on theircombined or simultaneous administration, which makes it possible toreduce the dose of the pharmaceutical agent and to minimize its sideeffects.

[0421] The administration of activated forms of ultra-low doses ofantibodies to a substance or a pharmaceutical agent favors the reductionof the intensity of the pathological syndromes (acute or chronicintoxication, post-intoxication disorders, dependence) caused by thissubstance or pharmaceutical agent.

[0422] Experimental studies of activated forms of ultra-low doses ofantibodies make it possible to determine their therapeutic propertieseven in situations where the biological activity of the initial antigenremains unknown.
